Who McCain also met with

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro and Adam Aigner-TreworgyThe McCain campaign put out a statement saying, in part, "Senator Obama phoned Senator McCain at 8:30 am this morning but did not reach him. The topic of Senator Obama's call to Senator McCain was never discussed. Senator McCain was meeting with economic advisers and talking to leaders in Congress throughout the day prior to calling Senator Obama."

Yet, McCain wasn't all "meeting with economic advisers and talking to leaders in Congress throughout the day prior to calling Senator Obama."
